  • Better than the original

  • dat voice, dat beat, dat verbal swagger

  • the original is possibly the worst song ive ever heard but somehow they made it sound good, maybe even very good

  • and from 2:38 on they leave womanizer and they do their magic.......

  • Hmm..

    Not their besssttt.....

  • I bet Franz Ferdinand originally wrote this song. I mean, come on, the chorus is way more Franz Ferdinand than Britney.

  • Franz Ferdinand + Killers+Muse + Arctic Monkeys + Panic at the disco + the Offspring + the Strokes =reasons to live...............keep the list going!

  • @hermes19911 White Lies & We Are Scientists?

  • @HDHomage you´re right.............keep the list going!

  • @hermes19911 Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, Razorlight, The wombats, The Coral, Bloc Party, stereophonics & My Chemical Romance.

  • @hermes19911 man you forgot to put miley cyrus on your list . x)

  • @hermes19911 The Strokes **

  • @hermes19911 The Kooks (:

  • Haha they can make even this sound good

  • @lexcaptianawesome but this song in specific is better in both versions. Scissor Sisters also did a great version of FF's Take me out.

  • it's still shite unfortunately. i guess even ff couldn't make it any good

  • That's the Example that even the shit can become Gold.

  • franz ferdinand managed to transform shit in diamond...

  • Franz Ferdinand me mata, son unos de mis favoritos! pero esta no me gustó... =(

  • My band isn't as good as franz ferdinand but we make music and chocolate milk alcoholic beverages. and make videos about it.

    SCUDDDEERRRR

    /watch?v=pRHiCv2pIS4

  • @WhyGangRecords You sound shit.

  • I havent heard these guys in like 5 maybe 6 years and im soooooo happy I just remembered them like this is the best day of the week so far just because of this awesomness

  • God fuck how have I just learned about this cover? I swear they can turn any shit song to pure fuckin' gold.

  • The chorus is terrible! As much as I like Franz gotta say this ain't cracking.

  • I like both versions of this song. I like the original version and Franz Ferdinand's. Their cover definitely puts a new spin and more rocky feel on it, but what's the point of a cover if it's not different? :) I <3 Franz Ferdinand.

  • Dissonance.

  • almeno...LA VOCE è LA SUA! :D

  • the woma womanizer part back vocals are offkey, some editing missing.

  • @Cindiatatugirl Why are there all these comments about editing? Franz Ferdinand doesn't autotune, because without it they don't sound like screeching fucking birds, like everyone else. You don't tune your voice on a computer, you SING IT.. And you're a fucking nut.

  • GUITAR AND BASS TABS PLEASE!!!

  • They made it amazing!

  • franz ferdinand makes every shitty song great i bet that even Justin Biebers song One Time would sound great :))

  • Killers suck. Franz Ferdinand is way better.

  • Not good, but lyrics are better with FF than Britney, Definitely.

  • I like it but when they starts the "womanizer, woma woma nizer" part...something sounds bit off....

  • whats going on. look at this... justin bieber new vide0 i put for my channeI

  • His voice..

    jks;alfjdkl;jflka;sdjfl;kas

    Ahhhmazing.

  • you'll never belive this... some idiot britney spears fan told me... "Franz Ferdinand ruined the song" .... sorry but i had to hit her...

  • @danchaplin22 Slap that b!tch again with best regards from me.

  • @geprion jajajja...ok i'll do...

  • @danchaplin22 It does not matter whose is the original and whose the cover, Bitchney Spears ruined Franz Ferdinand's song.

  • @ITAMrPink jajajajajajaja that's a good point xD

  • @ITAMrPink actually, I am for FF btw, ruining something is making something good bad, so, no.

  • @SankoGaming You aren't very fond of humor and irony, aren't ya?

  • @ITAMrPink *are ya, seeing as you're talking about a negation.

    It's also pure logic that a successor can't be ruined by a predecessor.

  • @SankoGaming Thanks, captain Obvious. And, by the way, welcome to jokeland, smartass.

  • @ITAMrPink Wow... you're a jerk. You're a tad bit overreacting.

  • @SankoGaming Well, dear Sigmund Freud, where do you read I'm agitated? I'm just a bit concerned about the fact that you can't understand when someone is talking serious and when not...

  • @ITAMrPink Well I can't exactly hear sarcasm in text to begin with, and I know it was a joke (it was a really bad one for that matter), I just can't stand the ignorance.

  • @SankoGaming Well, I guess you are not the smartest guy who crossed this land if you have to HEAR sarcasm in a sentence like that, and you can't understand on your own it is not serious, just reading it. And it was not quite a joke in the real sense of the world, more like an appreciation pro-Franz Ferdinand and against-Britney Spears in an unique sentence. And where is ignorance in saying exactly the opposite of something right, knowing it is absurd? It is called a paradox, boyo.

  • @SankoGaming "word", pardon.

  • @ITAMrPink what does that even mean?

  • @SankoGaming Don't worry, just get smarter and come back later, maybe you'll understand. Maybe you need to play minecraft a little more.

  • @ITAMrPink GROW THE FUCK UP

  • @SankoGaming Oh, poor thing... did I hit the target? I wonder who needs to grow the fuck up.

  • @ITAMrPink You're the one who started the argument. And that was really mature, repeating what I said.

  • @SankoGaming Well, you don't have a great memory I guess, because it was you that started. I was just making an ironic statement approving this video, and we were all living in peace and harmony until Sherlock Holmes came here noticing that a paradox phrase contained an "error", maybe because he desired so much attention and wanted to show us how good he was, like his mommy always told him. Now get the snot out of your nose and don't dare bother elder people anymore, milksucker :)

  • @SankoGaming And has for the "maturity" presumption, I found nothing childish in that. I did not say "no, you!". I just made you notice how you accuse people of something when that is exactly your problem, and making fun of the "fuck" you wrote to seem bigger, pretty cool and pretty dangerous. Not missing the caps-lock syndrome. Never heard of repeating the exactly same sentence as a parody, snotty one?

  • @ITAMrPink 1. Caps lock is to express anger.

    2. If it were my choice, I would have stopped arguing already. But you just keep on going. I always have to end the argument.

    3. Goodbye forever.

  • @SankoGaming Well, glad to make you angry, just an idiot child can be pissed off by an internet argument. It were your choice to start it, so it is your choice to end it. So, if you really wanna do it, end it. I don't mind going on, so I won't stop. It is a triple contradiction "If it were my choice, I would have stopped arguing already", "I always have to end the argument" and "goodbye forever". However, have it your way, it is clear you can't get a shit.

  • @ITAMrPink Minecraft is fucking awesome, maybe you wont understand because it takes brains to play the game and actually be creative and not a generic twat like you

  • @MrEAguilon Get the hell out of my argument, despicable nerd. Nobody called you in.

  • @ITAMrPink Pathetic little prick, angry because of your inferiority complex?

  • @MrEAguilon Yeeeah, I guess it is an inferiority complex towards a 14 years old nerd like you, who has nothing better to do that answering back immediately after a message arrives. Now tell me, Sigmund fuckin' Freud, we come from not understanding sarcasm to seeing some ghost anger? I'll tell you, I'm perfectly calm and enjoying myself while answering to you babies, so get down of your pedestal and get a bath of humility. Don't think you can understand everything when you can't get a shit.

  • @ITAMrPink I like how you think i care, I do happen to be 14 years old and maybe i am i nerd because I have 4.0. I really do have nothing better to do I'm bored as fuck because there's nothing good in life here with you inferior humans.

  • @MrEAguilon Well, have it your way. I like how you think the insipid word of a snotty nose can ever piss me off. I won't tell you how ridiculous you appear, desperately trying to make me angry and believing you can actually reply back. I have to thank you anyway, i really don't mind finding some new little toys to squeeze every once in a while, it can really help you relax.

  • Comment removed

  • @ITAMrPink I know this is kinda late, but I was just reading the argument you were having and I was just wondering why you would waste valuable time arguing with people you will never meet and whom you probably don'g give a fuck about. Instead let's just all enjoy the music and talk about how awesome FF is. YAY!

    -someone non-relevent

  • @khakiwakilala Just thought I'd let you know, I think the word you were looking for at the end there was "irrelevant" hahaha

    Franz Ferdinand is utterly amazing

  • @furyfighter101 sorry, i was tired, you're right haha. My vocabulary is lacking.

  • @danchaplin22 lol I'd do the same thing

  • love

  • Whenever Britney gets covered the covers just blow away the originals IMO.

  • i like both bands a lot but the killers are awesome :)

  • thumbs up if you know shopping for blood is the track they ended the cover with.

  • this is so much better than britney's

  • HOLY SHITNESS :DD

  • That's funny! I like it! 

  • Franzy can take a shit song and make it gold

  • Amazing!!! <3

  • This is from them playing on BBC radio, correct?

  • They're the best scottish band in the world. IM DONE!

  • Amazing cover! Dammit I'm addicted to them!!!

  • wow amazing. better than the original one.

  • 555th vote from me...its the best way to start the day...Im a womanizer...lomaf...

    PS:Respect about this song to Franz Ferdinand

  • Much better than Britney Spears.

  • @hegerthing Yes my friend I agree with you, I also me as American always been concern of what should be right to write to do not offend any one, if British can also go in the same category of Scottish or vise verse. Anyway is ways good to know, cheers mate!

  • love love love

    its almost betta than the original veersion

  • @Justmimziiii

    almost?

  • Great tune

  • FF managed to fix a song that was broken beyond repair. Yay!

  • Much better the other one !!!

    Love it !

  • I never in a million years imaged that someone could make this fucking terrible song sound pretty decent.

  • @StandUpAndSmile the song's actually very well written. it is totally jamming and it's actually hard to make it sound bad. of course, britney and her army of producers managed it.

  • Like this version and even the lily allen one

  • They can do that a shitty song sounds incredible ¡¡¡

  • @skatafario shitty your ass.

    ------

    great song, can't stop listenin' to it, but that doesn't mean Britney's original version is trash -.-

  • @Cindiatatugirl SHITTY THE ORIGINAL FUCKING SONG AND YOUR NICKNAME. I say ¡¡

  • @skatafario SHITTY THE PUSSY WHERE YOU CAME OFF, AND LOOK AT UR NICKNAME , WANNA CRITIZICE MINE WITH THAT NAME? LULZ

  • @Cindiatatugirl hahahaha..Look your ortography bitch..and "cindiatatugirl" hahahaha more intelligent i thing..¬¬

  • @skatafario haha look at yours troll, and what about my name ? it's better than skagandofario

  • @skatafario stfu ass, you wanna correct myself? ha, are you naturally english, ooh no, you're an inmigrant ha, and what if I love t.A.T.u. you love a lot of shitty bands, ooh and this song is good, but these woma womanizer vocals are off key baby

  • WTF ¡¡¡¡

  • They are womenizers

  • Wow. Greatest band covers greatest pop artist. <3 <3 <3 :)

  • Ummm @Lelem2 I guess he's right ya know u brought it back up like a divorced 30 year old woman would bring something bad to the ex husband.

  • umm.. why would a band like FF make a cover of a poop song? that's what i don't get.

    Same with Travis covering "baby one more time'.. WTF is wrong with you, good bands?

  • @Sebaastienne I think those bands do it in a semi-ironic way...also to have a bit of fun lol?

  • so weird to hear them sing this but it's not bad at all... just plain weird!

    and yeah, the chorus sounds like it's from another dimension :D

    gotta love their special touch to music!

  • ojama4 i love ur taste in music. i too favor franz next to the killers

  • Best. Cover. Ever.

  • Best cover of this song as well as better than the original.

  • LollipOooOoOOop~ <3

  • They made this song tolerable, maybe even pleasant? Alex's voice can fix anything. <3

  • Dude, I love this. Hate the original. Leave it to the Scottish Gods to take it and make it awesome!

  • This cover is better then the original!

  • @erimad93 SOOO much better 8D ♥♥♥

  • jajaja este cover esta botana!

    nunca me lo hubiera imaginado XD

  • Amo a Franz Ferdinand pero no me gusto este cover :(

  • Comment removed

  • Best part of this song? Shopping for blood, sadly. Not even the mighty Franz Ferdinand. can rescue a Britney song.

  • NO attempt to rescue birtney spears songs should ever be made.

  • Que genial version,sin duda mucho mejor que la de Brenda Esparza...que digo mejor..totalmente superior..obvio es Franz Ferdinand....

  • @jplauritzen just gonna add as well as what dante sitwell said, you also don't got to choose what you cover from everything. the bbc gives you 4-6 songs to choose from, you choose one, have a few days to practice it, and then you play it along with one of your own songs. you are encouraged to do it acoustically, though it isn't necessary

  • mm no me gusta mucho xd ><

    mejor les sale what you waiting for ? xd ^^

  • Oh, FF, i love, but did it NEED to be a Britney song???

    Sounds better anyway x)

  • @jplauritzen Um, I don't think you understand how the BBC Live Lounge works. People preforming there are suppose to sing one of their own songs and choose another. They aren't coping anything, it's simple formatting...

  • @jplauritzen: aren't you forgetting that they sold a couple of records on there on account as well? like, a couple of million? i reckon there name was already out before this cover, wasn't it?

  • Franz Ferdinand should definitely do a covers album.

  • Y de alguna manera... suena bastante bien, no creen?

    Yo digo que es la voz, simplemente genial

  • a no mamar

  • en la madre...el mundo se va a acabar...franz ferdinand cantando womanizer

  • so muchhh bettter!!! FF <3

  • Hey Franz and the Killers are my favorite bands, I dont really care whos better, just as long as all their songs sound FREAKEN AWESOME.

  • franz can make the shittiest songs a masterpiece.

    FYI britney spears masturbates with tweezers

  • @MAXZBAG Really I imagined that she would use her fist or a baseball bat.

  • I LOVE THIS ONE!!! :D

  • Much Better !

  • a catchy song and a catchy band!!!

  • You can ALWAYS have it so much better with Franz Ferdinand.

  • You can ALWAYS have it so much better with Fran Ferdinand.

  • great

  • Franz Ferdinand > The Killers

  • seriously.

  • OMFGDS!!! BLASPHEMY!!!

  • better than britney spears !

  • (L)_(L) i am in love

    franz ferdinand are ah-maze-ing

  • Comment removed

  • i like it!

  • fun

  • the killers can't hold a candle to franz. enough said.

  • @bexaree pfft other way around yes Franz is awesome but the Killers are the best no doubt about it.

  • @rosesRflowers2 Agreed.

  • @bexaree only for one reazon... Franz is a British Rock Band... its a great Rock band, but just because is british make the group perfect

  • @agudaaa there Scottish

  • @ButterSideUpCrew i lived in a lie my whole life ._.

  • It sounds a bit like Muse's "Uprising"... never had realised that haha.

  • @fluence51 TRUE =)

  • His heart just isn't in it.

  • GReat!!

    Amazing!!

  • The way they play music. Amazing

  • pues la cancion no esta mal, de hecho es bastabte interesante, pero el coro es algo que cambiaria. sigan asi franz ferdinand
